Reply #3: That's kind of good to know [View All]

because I was concerned that she had done something to caused them to drop her. I used to work as a healthcare consumer advocate, but that was before the days of many PPOs. HMOs , yes, or private practices with trditional insurance coverage, but few PPOs. So, I'm kind of ignorant of their ways.

Well, this may be just as well. I've been thinking of switching docs. This one doesn't do any of her own lab tests, ultrsounds, etc in house. And I had a bad hapbit of getting her part of my exams done, but not following up with the lab tests (blood work, etc) at the hospital.

I've been thinking of switching to a larger clinic that does all of that in-house. Then I learned that the obgyn there has signed some kind of pro-life thing that says there's never a therapeutic reason to do an abortion, which just strikes me as creepy. It was in the paper (lots of pro-life craizes here who think she's wonderful for doing this). It did say she's the only doc at this clinic who signed it. I'm hoping they let me choose my doc. I need treatment for endometriosis, and I don't want this woman getting any of my hard-earned money.

What I need is an HMO that tells me exactly which doc I can go to. I'm no good with decisions!!
